It's my honor and privilege to join the Margaret Mustangs this year.  I am beginning my 20th year of teaching.  I've taught in Alabama for the past two years, but I spent 17 years of my career in West Virginia.  Besides AL and WV, I lived in Arizona for a year and a half, and I was born and raised in the Hoosier State, Indiana.  I have five small dogs and love animals in general.  Baseball is my favorite sport...Go Cubs!  I love to read, but have a special obsession with the Harry Potter series.  Next to teaching, my favorite role is Auntie.  I have 20 nieces and nephews and several great nieces and nephews. Traveling makes me very happy, and I am especially fond of camping and taking cruises.  If there is anything else you want to know about me, all you need to do is ask.
